Best Brand Winners

New York, NY – The American Choice Awards Announces National Best Brand Award Winners

More than 1,500 brands are judged by consumers across a variety of important categories including Food and Beverage, Beauty, Household Care, Health and Personal Care, Home and Garden & Kids and Pets. The Best Brand Awards are 100% consumer-voted, and all brands have an equal opportunity to win. “The pace of innovation and steady increase in brand participants creates a very competitive and exciting environment. A hearty congratulations goes out to the winners for their big victories”, said Renee Jones, American Choice Awards Vice President of Competition.

Today’s consumers are overwhelmed with options, and more than ever, recommendations and ratings are key factors in our buying decisions. Shoppers cut through the clutter and instantly recognize The Choice of American Consumers® by their Best Brand Seal. Winners also feature prominently in the American Choice Awards’ enhanced media and Winner Announcements. “The expanded outreach is generating a lot of attention”. We’re looking forward to working with the Best Brand Winners to empower even more consumers”, added Ms. Jones.

Nationwide category studies are conducted using the M-CAP (Multimedia Consumer Aggregation Platform) and the proprietary balloting system developed with experts at The National Opinion Research Center at The University of Chicago. The NORC AmeriSpeak® OMNIBUS Research is the most scientifically rigorous statistical survey of consumers in the U.S.A. Consumers evaluate the category-specific criteria and key factors such as Quality, Value, Sustainability and Recommendation Likelihood, which are unique to the American Choice Awards process. Finalists receive a numerical grade for each criterion, and award-eligible winners are determined by the greatest number of total points earned. “The data are weighted so that the results are representative of the entire U.S. population of Primary Shoppers. The Best Brand Award process is the most comprehensive methodology of its kind”, said Jen Johansen, American Choice Awards Senior Vice President of Polling and Research. “We welcome this stellar group of innovators to the American Choice Awards winner’s circle”.
